Finally!

Boy!! how can i catch up on like 3 weeks!! haha. sorry, here in this new area, we dont have any cybers for internet, so we usually have to go out of the area to write and sometimes we never have time!! but its okay, becasue a little is better than nothing!! all my stories might be out of order and all over the place becasue i am trying to remember everything, and for some of you who know me, my memory is aweful! right now i am still here in Merida, the big city, but right now im int he south! at night its pretty scetchy sometimes but i love it! haha. It was awesome!! about 2 weeks ago, the bishop and marques and some of the other members from CAMPECHE came to merida and visited me!! it was awesome to see them all again! it was hilarious when the bishops wife said that he loves me more than he loves his kids! i loved Campeche soo much!! get this, the piano player in our ward is 9 years old!! she is sooo awesome the way she plays piano and during the hymns in sacrament meeting is soo cute! last week we had a ward activity for the 20 of november which is a holiday here of revolution. but we played soccer and ate a lot of cochinita, for those who dont know cochinita, it is only the best food you will find here in yucatan!!! it is sooo delicious, if i could get fat off of one thing it would be cochinita!! hahaha. there is this little 9 year old girl we are teaching for her to be baptized. she is the daughter of some less actives but she is the most adorable thing ever. my comp and i have a lot of fun teaching her, i love teaching kids!

This past transfer, pretty much a ton of my besties in the mission ad some of the best missionaries died this transfer! now it is up to us to top them in the mission. but i will miss them. we had a district meeting this week and when it got over, we started walking on the highway to get back to our area with elders moreno and mariscal. and we reach an overpass and a cop was there patrolling. me loving cops, left the group and started talking to this police officer! turned out he was pretty chill! i asked him if he like to read, becasue he had a lot of time to waste there parked in his spot, so he accepted a book of mormon! and all of us 4 missioneries were talking to him for a long time, and we gained this trust with him, and accepted the missionaris to go to his house to teach him and the fam! he even gave us a ton of oranges he had in his car!! and hmmm were they good!! i also got to turn on his light and sirens!! i felt special! haha.

one last story, we were with this less active that hasnt gone to church in over years, and he always felt like people would judge him, not only teaching the sabbath day but we also talked about the atonement really strongly, and helped him feel the love of our savior. the spirit was so stong in the room at this time, and this sunday we got to see him in the church with us! and he felt soo much better and all the members greeted him well, and just goes to show that the church is literally like a hospital, not to get healed physically but spiritually. and everytime we attend church and take the sacrament, we strengthen ourselves through the atonment of jesus christ and we are strengthened for the things that will try to break us the following week! i love this gospel with all my heart and i know that it is true! the church of jesus christ is a missionary church and i invite everyone to share it with somebody! TODAY!!

i love ya, and hasta la proxima semana!
